Registering for a Gmail account nowadays is time-consuming as it requires a phone number for verification, unlike the past when phone numbers were optional. Creating accounts on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter from your Gmail will be significantly more challenging. However, we can choose to use virtual Gmail to create so that all emails sent to the virtual Gmail are forwarded to your main Gmail.

Method 1: Creating Virtual Gmail Using Periods ('.')
Creating a virtual Gmail using periods ('.') is very simple. You just need to add a dot between characters in your Gmail address.

Assuming Your Main Gmail is: [email protected], we can create virtual Gmails like this:
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- …
By adding dots between the characters in this Gmail address, you can generate many different virtual Gmails depending on the number of characters in your Gmail. If you want to create Gmails for virtual use, it's better to have more characters because you can create numerous virtual Gmails. With this method, you only need one Gmail account to create 10, 20… different virtual Gmail accounts.
Note:
- If your Gmail account name already has a period, you just need to change the position of the period.
- Emails sent to the virtual Gmail will automatically be forwarded to your main Gmail.
Method 2: Creating Virtual Gmail Using the '+' Symbol
Creating a virtual Gmail using the '+' symbol is similar to using the '.' symbol, but we can be more creative and have unlimited virtual Gmails. To create a virtual Gmail using the '+' symbol, you need to structure the virtual Gmail name as follows:
[email protected] |
Where: X represents any characters

Assume your main Gmail is: [email protected], and we can create virtual Gmails as follows:
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- …
With this method, we can generate millions of different virtual Gmail accounts without any limitations. However, it also has some drawbacks that you should be aware of, such as:
- Emails sent to the virtual Gmail will be forwarded to your main Gmail
- Email addresses with the '+' symbol cannot log in to Gmail
- Some websites/services do not support Gmail with the '+' symbol
Method 3: Using the subdomain googlemail.com
In reality, @gmail and @googlemail function equivalently, so when you use them, you can still receive emails in your main Gmail inbox.

Assuming your main Gmail is: [email protected], we can create virtual Gmails like this:
With this approach, we encounter no drawbacks other than not generating multiple virtual Gmail accounts.
